Course Overview
This two-day course equips you with the essential knowledge and practical skills to excel as a Scrum Master in embedded systems development. You’ll learn to facilitate teams working across hardware and software boundaries, manage dependencies on physical resources, and adapt Scrum practices for safety-critical and resource-constrained environments. Includes official Scrum content plus embedded-specific practices missing from generic certifications.
Designed for the unique challenges of embedded development, this course goes beyond standard Scrum Master training to address hardware availability constraints, cross-functional team dynamics, and the integration challenges that arise when software meets hardware. Through practical exercises and real embedded scenarios, you’ll develop the skills to guide teams through sprints that include hardware prototypes, manage stakeholders from multiple engineering disciplines, and foster agile practices in traditionally hardware-centric organizations.
